[Stylist] Food for Thought

[Matthew Gip]

Hi Vejas, 

No, that is not considered plagiarism because as you mentioned, someone is critiquing your work and offering suggestions and advice, and they are not the author themselves. However, if they re-write the entire paper, then yes, that would be considered plagiarism. I hope this helps. Take care. 

Best,
Matthew Gip

I was wondering, though, if someone is critiquing your work and suggests an edit for a sentence and says, "Maybe try this sentence instead." Is it OK to use the sentence they suggested, because technically that sentence is using the critiquer's words, not your own?
